Due to privacy considerations and to avoid publishing data on living persons, the Pearl Jarvis Augustus' Genealogy data published here was truncated after the grandchildren of George and Ann Prior Jarvis. If you would like a copy of the complete data, send your request to the address below. Three formats are available: a PAF 5 file, a PAF 5 backup file, and a GEDCOM file. GEDCOM is a text file format used internationally to exchange information between genealogy programs. Almost all genealogy programs can import GEDCOM data. Unfortunately, the GEDCOM files for the "down to grandchildren subset" and the complete Pearl Augustus file may be too big to email, as are the PAF files. If so, the files can be copied to a CD and mailed out, in which case a small donation to cover the cost of good quality media, packaging, and postage may be requested.
Unforunately, Pearl Augustus' work contained very little data on the ancestors of the spouses of the direct Jarvis descendants. I am in the process of adding material for the George Fredrick line, but need submissions from the descendants of George and Ann's other children. Please, if you have any additions or corrections send them to:

Biographies and Autobiographies of Heber Charles and Asineth Jarvis Cottam and Their Ancestors
A couple of comments about George Jarvis and his family. First, although George seldom used his middle name, Franklin, he is listed as George Franklin Jarvis on the rolls of the Jesse Murphy wagon train in which George and Ann crossed the plains to Utah ( Roster of the 1860 Jesse Murphy wagon train). In addition, in her biography of her father, his daughter Josephine referred to him as George Franklin ( A brief history of George and Ann Prior Jarvis by their daughter, Victoria Josephine Jarvis Miles ). It is therefore reasonable to assume that his full name was George Franklin Jarvis, even though his middle name, Franklin, was seldom used.
Second, there is the question of his sealing to Mary Webb. I have lately found some reliable evidence of this sealing. The first is from the records of the St. George Temple, the second is from the Ann Prior Jarvis Journal, Book C.
On the New Family Search site, I found the following documentation
of a marriage between George Jarvis and Mary Webb in the St. George
Temple on 4 April 1878:
"Marriage: 4 April 1878
Saint George,Washington,Utah
Contributor LDS Church Temple Records
Source Source type: Other, Repository name: The Temples of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
Repository city: Salt Lake City, Repository state: UT,
Repository country: USA, Repository postal code: 84150,
Event date: 18 Mar 2007, LDS temple record number: 856127520,

Also, in Ann Prior Jarvis' Journal, Book C are copies of
Patriarchal blessings for members of the family. Copies of the pages
from this journal have been added to the Family Association Picasa
picture site,
Jarvis Family Association Picasa site. The Patriarchal
blessing for Mary Webb Jarvis is included in the middle of the family
blessings and can be seen at
Patriarchal Blessing of Mary Webb Jarvis.
Because Ann's feelings regarding George taking a second wife were well known, many are convinced that reports of a marriage to Mary Webb must be in error. I believe the following to be a reasonable explanation. Mary Webb had divorced her husband, Moses Badcock, and presumably had no wish to be sealed to him. Yet she alone could not be sealed to her children--children must be sealed to two parents. The Jarvis and Webb families were close--Amelia Jarvis married Mary's son William. A simple solution was therefore available. According to records from the St George Temple, Mary was sealed to George and her children were sealed to the two of them. Thus Mary Webb was able to be sealed to her children. To my knowledge, there is no evidence of George and Mary ever living together. The evidence seems to be that this was truly a "Celestial" marriage or sealing whose benefits would only come in the hereafter. (Mark Jarvis)
Again, I do not have anywhere near complete information on the grandchildren of George and Ann, let alone information on the collateral lines brought in by the grandchildren's spouses. Only with help from you family members, can this web site become a resource and central collection point for Jarvis family genealogy.
Note: When a PAF database is built, each individual in it is assigned
a unique numeric identifier, known as a Record Identification Number or
RIN. That number is valid only within that PAF database (PAF file) and
is not exported. Pearl Augustus' PAF file contained around 1100
source notes of the form "See Rin #___". Unfortunately, those RIN numbers
do not survive export via GEDCOM. The work to replace references
like this with copies of the referenced notes and useful pointers is
now complete down through the grandchildren of George and Ann. -mj-
